Chapter 14

The search

Clarissa

I kept running form the human government, I been in the bush since I killed the police officers, because I don’t know if my face have been seen, humans have different type of gadgets that I’m yet to know of, so there is actually a possibility that the car may have camera, and the gadget (radio communicator) the police officer spoke to may have camera as well, so I started running away from the humans, so no one will see me, the next day I was in a near by bush when some men so me, they started talking to themselves, and one of them asked me what I was doing all alone, and I told him that I was trying to catch some fresh air, the walked away but I heard one make a phone call, (all supernatural’s have super hearing apart from the witches) and in the conversation he told who so ever he was talking to that he has found the animal, he said he wasn’t sure but the lady was behaving strange and that she was in the bush, hearing this I have to leave before the authorities gets here, while on the run I met a Vampire, (the feud between the vampires and the were wolf have been as long as the world existed), “A wolf in the human territory?” he asked, I decided to ignore and leave but he charged towards me, and I tried hitting him but he held my hand and flung me so hard that I hit my back so hard on a tree, and regaining myself he slapped me so hard and next thing I saw was myself flying in the sky till I reached the ground, I realised that the vampire that I just met wasn’t an ordinary vampire, and I was pregnant so I had to transform to a full wolf, in other to have a matching power, he came and we had an intense battle, while we were fighting the police officers arrive, thank goodness I was already transformed to a wolf, so the didn’t see the face behind the wolf, on hearing the human sound the vampire disappeared (vampire have super speed and they can travel to fifty kilometres in one milli second, a werewolf when fully transformed can travel at such speed but not when we are in our human form), the human police saw us but couldn’t catch us in such speed, but the fired some guns at us.

Jericho

At about 5pm it was reported that the police saw the werewolf and a Vampire fighting, but they couldn’t catch them, I knew that Clarissa would still be there but I started asking my what they vampires were doing in the human territory, are the plotting something? or they want to start feasting on human blood again, I closed from work and went to the location that was announced earlier on the news and after a while of searching I saw Clarissa naked in a bush, I quickly rushed to my car and get a cloth for her to put on, I asked her to follow me home but she refused.

Clarissa

When Jericho asked me to follow him home, I actually wanted to go but I didn’t want to cause him trouble, so I refused, he asked me if I had anywhere to go to, I told him no but I didn’t want to follow him home.

Jericho

I couldn’t just leave her here, and return home because her life is in danger and the life of others who may try to catch her. After persuading her for time, she told me that she can’t come back because she doesn’t want to put me and my family in danger, I remembered the offer of Jason to employ Clarissa, I told Clarissa about it, and I told her that she will be more save at the hospital than the street, she accepted the offer and followed me home.

When we reached home, Nova didn’t show much joy seeing her, but I didn’t read any meaning into it, I took Clarissa to her room, in the night Nova asked where I found Clarissa and why she ran away, I really didn’t know what to tell her so she doesn’t get suspicious, after few second of thinking, I told her that she went to my cousin’s house and she asked my cousin to called me to come pick her up, Nova asked why she didn’t tell me before going and why I’m just finding out her way about, I told her that we had a little misunderstanding, Nova asked why she’s just finding out about it, I told her that I didn’t want to bother her with it, Nova asked “ where she is even coming from, a lady at her age can’t use a cell phone, and can’t cook unless I’m not around” at this point I know that Nova is suspecting that something is odd about Clarissa and I need to get her out here to somewhere save as soon as possible, in the morning the next day when I reached office, I went to Doctor Elijah’s office, I told him that I want to meet with Jason, and he said he will call Jason straight up.

Jason

Because of the competition issue with the Sun group, I told Elijah to get a care giver for granny for the main time, he did but she resigned after two weeks, then one afternoon he called me to tell me that Doctor Jericho wanted to see me, I asked him to tell him to come to my office right away, and in 1 hour time Doctor Jericho was already in my office, “how are you Doctor Jericho?” I asked he said “I am fine Mr Jason, I actually came because Clarissa wants to work as a care giver for your granny” I was happy, I wanted to send him the money I promised him but he said something wired, he said no but I could use the money to rent an apartment for Clarissa in a walking distance from the hospital, I really didn’t understand since they were siblings and I know that Doctor Jericho goes to work from home, but I didn’t ask personal questions, I accepted and told him that I will get back to him, I called my personal assistance and told him to check the cost of the nearest house to the hospital, he did and tole me its one million united states dollar, I sent him money to purchase it, I also sent the key to Doctor Jericho so Clarissa can start work immediately.
